I am in the process of setting up a Mac mini setup for my dad... I think it is great! movies, music, pics, podcast... all in one place with MAC remote :) And with Time Machine backup you know your collection is safe all the time :)
Mac Mini vs WDTV as a Music Server ??
Has anyone tried both the WDTV Live and the Mac Mini as a music server?
The WDTV is super cheap, simple, and easy to use without requiring
all the "computer admin" efforts of the Mac Mini route.
With a Mac Mini one would use an external USB DAC. With the
Western Digital TV live one would use Toslink to an external DAC.
Has anyone tried both of these out and could discuss the PROS/CONS of
the WDTV vs the Mac Mini? Would the sound quality be better with a
Mac Mini?
